Beat Cop feels like two distinct and ill-fitting halves of the same cop drama idea. If it were a relatively tone-deaf, endless sandbox adventure where I maintained my beat, wrote my tickets, and solved some crimes, I would have enjoyed it a lot more than I did. The larger corruption-centered story arc wasn’t handled well, and it brought a lot of poor design choices into an otherwise interesting twist on the side scrolling adventure game.

As another beat draws to a close, I take a break to wrap up this review. I’m hooked on this simple, but loveable title. While I’m still itching for a realistic police title, I’m pleased with how more games about law enforcement fiction are appearing in the last year or so, and Beat Cop sits at the top of the pile in terms of enjoyment.

I had high hopes for Beat Cop. As someone who loves Tarantino’s over the top nonsense, this title held so much promise. If the gameplay was tweaked here and expanded upon there, this review would have an entirely different tone. But as it stands, Beat Cop drew its own chalk outline and willingly laid inside it.

The developer made a good decision with using pixelated graphics since that really adds ambiance to the ‘80s vibe. Each day brings something new to deal with and daily objectives that Kelly needs to complete in order to make progress. Now that game is out on mobile, everyone will be able to come face to face with tough choices about which side to take while at the same time finding evidence that will clear Kelly’s name and reinstate him as a detective.

A few bugs aside, Beat Cop is a highly engrossing and addictive adventure, a cross between classic and 80s action and routine cop duty that makes for some extremely interesting gameplay as you get sucked in and even get attached to everyone in your little part of Brooklyn. Proper management and investigation skills are rewarded with satisfying results and advancements in various intriguing narratives, and the gameplay is the kind thatâs enjoyably simple to learn and fun to work with. Long story short, even if this is more of a tribute to the like of Harry Callahan, itâs Sonny Bonds who should feel proud that Pixel Crow made an enjoyable game about police work that does his legacy justice.
